In one embodiment, the flying object is guided along a flight trajectory and approaches landing body such a that a latching element, coupled with suspension cable suspended a from the flying body, latches with receiving a latch, coupled with an extendable retractable beam projecting horizontally from a landing body side surface. A cable release/retraction mechanism engages and then releases/retracts the suspension cable. The beam is maneuvered to haul the flying object onto landing a surface. In another embodiment, the flying object guided along is a flight traject - ory and approaches landing a body such that a latching element, coupled with suspension cable suspended from a the flying body, latches with receiving a cable, supported by cable supports projecting vertically from a landing body top surface. A cable release/re­ traction mechanism releases/retracts the suspension cable, hauling the flying object onto the landing surface.
